The Yellow Rose Beauty Shop...

It's here! It's here!

Excitement is dancing around southern Oklahoma like a sugared up kid after a day at Grandma's house.

It's the third and final book in the Cadillac Series...at least for now! Agnes and Violet have a whole new situation to draw up sides and argue about. The gossip is hot and everyone wonders about that sign down on the church lawn...

Here's a little snippet:

“Gossip has it
that she just said to pray for you, that you needed a husband, and they prayed.
But this morning everyone is speculating about why you need a husband and if
it’s safe to breathe in all these fumes if you are pregnant and who the father
is.”

Stella leaned
against the counter. “Oh. My. God.”

The business.
Dammit! The beauty shop would fold. They’d only been open a year. “Everyone in
town knows?”

“Probably. Didn’t
you drive past the church on your way to work this morning?”

Stella shook her
head.

Trixie flipped
open her phone. “I took a picture.”

“Of the church?”
Stella asked.

“Of the sign.
See.”

There it was right
on the big white wooden sign located at the edge of church lawn in black
lettering: Pray For My Daughter. She Needs
a Husband.

It's getting wonderful reviews at Goodreads:

I absolutely adored this book! I don't think I have ever laughed so much or felt so compelled to tell my husband many of the funny things that occurred in this book. I could really see something like this happening in a small Southern town and I think the realism is what made this believable and hilarious. I couldn't even begin to pick a favorite character, as they all played an important role in this comedic romance. No criticisms from me at all, and I cannot wait to get some more books from this author! She is an absolute hoot! ...Courtney

Carolyn Brown is just awesome! She remains the best at creating small towns that are quirky and more than a little insane. Even while writing about people that you might just be related to.
I don't think I have read a Carolyn Brown book yet that I haven't laughed my way through.. Of course a lot of shaking of head and rolling of eyes are usually included. Then there's the desire, the desire to live in such a town and of course there's the recognition. You know when you see your mother, sister, friend written in the words on the page. And finally, there's the connection...Shauni

If you are looking for a “Steel Magnolias” book set in Texas, then look no further than The Yellow Rose Beauty Shop. Like the previous books in the series, The Blue Ribbon Jalapeno Society and The Red Hot Chili Cook-Off, TYRBS brings back a host of past favorite characters from Cadillac, TX while letting us get to know the three owners of the beauty shop by the same name. Stella, Piper, and Charlotte are the second generation of formidable Texas women featured in this tale and they are as wild, crazy, and Southern as the main characters of the other books...Jamie
